Trouble in Paradise

The idyllic hut on the white sandy beach fringed by cocunut palms. Ellis Beach in tropical North Queensland. It started off well but then Cyclone Neville came to visit and brought his two close friends wind and rain! Well at least the rain was hot. We took the opportunity of the cooling rain to run along the beach but nearly got cut off - not by the tide but by a wide, deep and swift river that grew from nothing in a matter of minutes as the rain from the nearby hills found the shortest route downhill to the sea and cut a huge channel in the beach. But fear not dear reader we lived to record the tale!
